I've got a small piece of C++ code that makes extensive use of templates. To my surprize it compiles to en executable of about 20 MBytes on x86_64 architecture. When I compiled it on an x86 machine the executable is about 6 Kbytes. Is code bloat of this magnitude normal?
The code I'm trying to compile is basically a cut and paste of this: http://www.boost.org/libs/mpl/doc/tutorial/representing-dimensions.html -- Summary: x86_64 code bloat on templates Product: gcc Version: 3.4.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: ms6ep at cs dot virginia dot edu CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20700
